Chapter 2: Welcome to Pandora
As the sun was setting five Na'vi awoke on the forest ground. They sat up and looked around. When they noticed their clothes were more military style with tan shorts, black combat boots, and a forest green shirt for the males and tan pants, black hiking boots, and light green tan tops for the girls. That's when they noticed their strange, blue skin and four fingered hands.
"What the…?" one muttered with Crow's voice.
They looked at each other and their facial features were the only things that allowed them to tell them who they were. And they noticed the once Signers had strange glowing dots on their arms that created their marks if you connected them before the dots separated into intricate designs along their arms and throughout their body.
Leo slowly took his braid which felt weirdly sturdy and when the end hairs bent down a bit. To their shock, they saw what looked like pinkish-white, nerve like veins wiggling around a bit, as if looking for something to attach to. The others immediately checked theirs and found they were the same.
"What happened? And where are we?" the young girl, Luna, wondered.
"I'm not sure," Akiza answered.
"Either way, it's getting late here. We need to get a torch or something and find a way to a safe spot," Jack suggested. They nodded
Leo found a good sized stick; Luna found some dry, leaf like plants; Akiza found some sap that looked flammable; and Jack and Crow managed to find some rocks that were able to create sparks like flint and steel. Together, they made a good, long lasting torch.
They began their trek forward and walked around a bit. Suddenly, they heard strange, almost hyena like laugh coming from around them. A branch snapped from one of the trees and they paused looking around nervously.
Meanwhile, Tekumseh was watching as the five stopped. They were Dreamwalkers from what he could tell. Recently, they had discovered that some of the Sky People had returned with new Dreamwalkers and military. The People hadn't made a move yet and neither did the Sky People, but they were ready for a fight if it came their way.
"Who's there?" called one of them.
Tekumseh had to admit, their voices sounded… familiar. 'But that doesn't matter. They are Dreamwalkers. And Dreamwalkers cannot be in the forest,' he thought. He pulled back his bow and aimed it at the tallest of them. Suddenly, a little Atokirina came down and landed on the tip of his arrow. That took him by surprise but he knew these Dreamwalkers were special and could not be killed. Eywa had told him so. But he wasn't going to let them into Hometree without more information from his goddess.
Even so, he hurried away to hide. He knew the nantangs were coming to eat these people, and having a torch wouldn't help them avoid the carnivorous wildlife. So he would have to wait until they needed protection.
He watched carefully as they walked a bit farther around until they noticed a nantang slip by the light.
"Uh, what was that?" Leo asked nervously.
They saw another slip by followed by another as they growled. There was at least four total in the area, and they seemed ready to pounce on the five and eat them. One finally lunged at them and Jack hit it away with the torch.
Another lunged at the young ones and he hit it away again. One finally managed to get on top of Crow, but he held the creature back with his arms. Suddenly, an arrow shot the creature and a native humanoid being jumped out yelling a battle cry. He hit a couple of the creatures away from the people with his bow and they cried out a bit before running away.
The others watched as the strange man ran to the whimpering nantang he had shot. He pulled out a knife, whispering to it before stabbing it and killing it.
The Na'vi continued to whisper soft words in a language they couldn't understand to it as Crow called, "Thank you." The man seemed to either ignore them or didn't understand. "Thank you."
The mysterious man looked at them with a emotionless face before yanking the arrow out. He grabbed the torch out of Jack's hands and threw it into a nearby pond.
"Hey!" Jack exclaimed. The strange man ignored him, beginning to walk away.
"Hey, wait!" Akiza called and they ran forward.
Jack grabbed his shoulder while saying, "We just wanted-"
The man cut him off by hitting him with his bow, hard enough to knock him to the ground. "No, you don't thank anyone for hurting them. That is sad. They are sad only," he told him pointing the tip of the bow at Jack's neck.
"Whoa, whoa, easy," Crow called. That's when they noticed the forest was glowing with all sorts of colors along the plants and ground.
"Wow," Luna muttered.
"Listen, we need your help," Akiza told him.
"Go back," he growled.
"Go back where?" Leo asked.
The man groaned before walking away as Jack stood up. They hurried towards him and he turned as they neared and growled again, "Go back to your people."
"We… don't have any people here," Luna answered. "We just got here not knowing how. Please, help us. Maybe teach us your ways or something."
"You can't learn if you can't see," the man argued.
"Then teach us to 'see'," Leo suggested.
"No one can teach you to see," the man retorted. "So go back." The strange man glared but turned as nearly a hundred strange jellyfish creatures came floating down towards them. One tried to land on Crow who swatted it away, though the man grabbed his hand yelling something warningly in his native language. He tried again when another came by and the man exclaimed while grabbing that arm as well, "No!" He then said another thing as a warning and Crow stopped. He slowly let go as the creatures began to land on each of the new people, nearly covering them. The man backed up seeming in awe.
"What are they?" Akiza wondered.
"Atokirina, seeds of the Sacred Tree," the man answered. "Very pure spirits."
"Uh-huh," Leo responded. Suddenly, the little beings flew off into the air. They turned and looked as the man muttered something.
He then looked at the five in front of them and called while pulling at Jack, "Come." They gave him confused looks. "Come."
"Sure, now you want us to come with you?" Crow retorted as they ran forward and soon came across a bridge made of a root. They looked down a bit shocked at the height and how the man they were following travelled across it fearlessly.
"So, who are you exactly?" Leo asked as they followed him again, being careful. "How did you learn English?"
"I am Tekumseh," he answered. "My father taught me English."
"Wait, why does your voice sound so familiar?" Akiza muttered to herself. She then realized it, "Yusei?"
He seemed to perk up and look at her. "How do you know that name?" he asked.
"Is that really you, Yusei?" Crow asked.
"When I was younger, I dreamt of another life I had in which I was named Yusei. But that is not me. Nothing but a dream," he answered.
"That's no dream. The last time we saw you, you were in a coma," Jack argued. "You passed out one day and never woke up. And it's been almost a year there."
"Well, I have been here for over eighteen. I could not have lived that life," the man retorted.
"Or maybe time just moves differently here. Wherever here is," Crow fought.
The man shook his head. "Follow me and no more questions about that topic," he ordered again and they hurried forward.
